Tur­bine De­sign Under Test

In­tel­li­gent Mea­sure­ment and Anal­y­sis Tech­nol­o­gy

Our so­lu­tion for tur­bine test bench­es

The in­stal­la­tion of a com­plete mea­sure­ment and anal­y­sis sys­tem for the eval­u­a­tion of the dif­fer­ent types of vi­bra­tion that can occur on tur­bine test bench­es. This in­cludes sen­sor tech­nol­o­gy to de­tect any de­vi­a­tions from the stan­dard val­ues, high-qual­i­ty hard­ware for pro­cess­ing the data and smart soft­ware for an­a­lyz­ing the data. On the basis of the re­sult­ing con­clu­sions, the de­sign of the com­po­nents can be im­proved and, in ad­di­tion, the safe op­er­a­tion of the test bench­es can be guar­an­teed. The rel­e­vant pa­ram­e­ters for the anal­y­sis in­clude pres­sure, ac­cel­er­a­tion, strain and tem­per­a­ture.

The IFTA Ar­gusOMDS, our all-in-one so­lu­tion in com­bi­na­tion with the anal­y­sis soft­ware IFTA TrendView­er, pro­vides a so­lu­tion that can be adapt­ed eas­i­ly to the spe­cif­ic test bench in order to draw the right con­clu­sions for all com­po­nents to be test­ed. Based on flex­i­ble hard­ware and soft­ware, the com­plete mea­sure­ment and anal­y­sis sys­tem pro­vides the basis for the com­mis­sion­ing of the test bench, the record­ing of mea­sure­ment points as a ref­er­ence and for log­ging up to the pro­tec­tion of the tur­bine.

The flex­i­ble input card AD4Pro with gal­van­ic iso­la­tion and in­te­grat­ed charge am­pli­fi­er fits every sen­sor and thus per­mits a sim­ple and slim mea­sure­ment chain to avoid error sources. A con­tin­u­ous long-term stor­age in­clud­ing the high-res­o­lu­tion raw data of IFTA sys­tems en­ables test runs over longer pe­ri­ods of time (weeks & months) and grad­u­al changes can be mea­sured.
